**The Big D** and anyone else who wants a laugh
I know you were having a rough week, so I thought this story might cheer you up.
JUDGE ORDERS DEFENDANT'S MOUTH TAPED SHUT
A Pennsylvania judge ordered a man?s mouth taped shut by sheriff?s deputies for repeatedly disrupting jury selection for his trial.
The unusual order came after Erik Britt, who was acting as his own attorney during the pre-trial hearing for assaulting a prison guard, ignored Judge Timothy Creany's warnings to stop interrupting the court hearing to say his free speech rights were being violated and complaining of racism, the Johnstown Tribune-Democrat and the Associated Press report.
The judge eventually halted the hearing after Britt continued to make outbursts despite the heavy, red tape across his mouth and around his head, according to the Tribune-Democrat. A mental health evaluation has been ordered.

That is hilarious!!! I think I've seen a few pro se Defendants that would tempt the Judges here into doing such a thing.
Thanks for the laugh!
